‘Broadcasting Turkish dramas in Pakistan is not detrimental to the local industry’: Humayun Saeed

Humayun Saeed along with Senator Faisal Javed Khan recently appeared on Waseem Badami’s show Har Lamha Pur Josh . During the segment of ‘Masoomana sawal’, the host asked the Punjab Nahi Jaungi actor if telecasting Turkish dramas in Pakistan is detrimental for the local industry and if that reduces work opportunities for the local celebrities and producers?

Humayun answered that there’s enough space for foreign content on local channels and cited the example of a private channel which only aired Turkish content when it was launched in Pakistan.

The Mere Paas Tum Ho star said that local channels should air dramas from other parts of the world too, adding that in the past Pakistani channels used to broadcast movies from Hollywood too and we do not need to get insecure from anyone.

Humayun Saeed is co-producing ISPR’s Sinf-e-Aahan which will be be directed by Nadeem Baig. The small screen magnum opus is based on the theme of women empowerment and has been penned by the acclaimed writer, Umera Ahmed.
